Re: Connecting the Corridor Oaks Mobile Home Park to the City of Schertz Sewer
System
Dear Mr. Kahn:
This letter agreement (this "Letter Agreement") is between the City of Schertz, Texas
(the "City") and Jeffrey Kahn ("Kahn") with respect to connecting the Corridor Oaks Mobile
Home Park (the "Kahn Property") to the City's sewer system.
A. Background.
1. The Kahn Property has been served by a septic system located on the property.
2. City ordinance allows an owner of property to continue to use a working septic
system located on the property until such time as the septic system fails. At such
time, the property owner must discontinue use of the septic system and connect
the property to the City's sewer system.
3. The City believes that the septic system serving the Kahn Property failed and that
Kahn repaired the septic system after the septic system failure. As a result, on
May 18, 2010, the City issued Citation No. 0482 against Kahn for violation of
Chapter 90, Article III, Section 90-78 of the City's Code of Ordinances (the
"Citation").
4. The Kahn Property is located adjacent to a Walgreen's property (the "Wal r~ een's
Property"). The City's sewer line crosses only a portion of the Walgreen's
Property and does not extend to the Walgreen/Kahn common property line.
B. Agreements. To resolve this matter, for and in consideration of the covenants and
agreements set forth in this Letter Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which consideration are hereby acknowledged and agreed, the City and
Kahn agree as follows:
50337302.2
1. No later than 5:00 p.m. on November 16, 2010, Kahn shall pay the City by
cashier's or certified check the amount of Twenty Six Thousand Eight Hundred
Ninety Four and No/100 Dollars ($26,894), which is one-half of the full amount
of the impact fees related to connecting the Kahn Property to the City's sewer
system in the amount of Fifty Three Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty Eight and
No/100 Dollars ($53,788.00) for the seventeen living units on the Kahn property .
(the "Impact Fees").
2. The City, at its sole cost and expense, will secure an easement across the frontage
of the Walgreen's Property to extend the sewer line to the Walgreen/Kahn
common property line (the "Wal~reen's Easement"), and the City, at the City's
sole cost and expense, will extend the sewer line across the Walgreen's Property
through the Walgreen's Easement to the Walgreen/Kahn common property line.
3. The City will notify Kahn in writing when it has acquired the Walgreen's
Easement.
4. Kahn will grant an easement to the City across the entire frontage of the Kahn
Property at a location approved by the City to connect the sewer line across the
Kahn Property to the edge of the adjoining property (the "Kahn Easement"). The
Kahn Easement will be composed of a sixteen foot (16') wide permanent
easement and a twenty foot (20') wide temporary construction easement. The
,City Engineer will consult with Kahn's engineer concerning the location of the
Kahn easement and the depth of the sewer line within the Kahn Easement; final
approval of such location and depth shall be made by the City Engineer.
5. The City will prepare the easement agreement for the Kahn Easement (the "Kahn
Easement Agreement") within three (3) business days after execution of this
Letter Agreement by Kahn. Kahn will execute the Kahn Easement Agreement
and return a fully executed and acknowledged original of the Kahn Easement
Agreement to the City within two (2) business days after Kahn's receipt of the
Kahn Easement Agreement from the City.
6. At Kahn's sole cost and expense, Kahn's engineer will design, at or above City
standards and the standards of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
("TCEQ"), (a) a sewer line in the Kahn Easement from the Walgreen/Kahn
common property line across the entire frontage of the Kahn Property to the edge
of the adjoining property (the "Kahn Property Sewer Line"), (b) a sewer line to
each of the mobile home sites on the Kahn Property (such connecting lines, the
"Connecting Lines"), and (c) plans for capping the septic system. Kahn or his
engineer will submit the plans for the Kahn Property Sewer Line, the Connecting
Lines, and the septic system capping to the City for review and approval and to
TCEQ. Such plans will be submitted on a schedule to permit Kahn to comply
with the requirements of paragraph B.l 1. below.
50337302.2 2
7. If the plans for the Kahn Property Sewer Line, the Connecting Lines, and capping
the septic system are acceptable to the City, the plans will be approved by the City
within two (2) business days. If the plans are not acceptable, Kahn's engineer
will modify the plans to be in compliance with City requirements, Kahn's
engineer will confirm with TCEQ that, if TCEQ chooses to review such plans, it
has approved those plans.
8. The City will begin construction on the portion of the sewer line to be located in
the Walgreen's Easement within five (5) business days after the later of (a)
obtaining the Walgreen's Easement and (b) receiving any approval required by
TCEQ, and the City expects that it will complete such portion of the project by
January 4, 2011 (the "Anticipated City Completion Date"), although the actual
completion date maybe earlier or later (the "Actual City Completion Date"). The
City will notify Kahn in writing of the Actual City Completion Date.
9. Upon the City's completion of that portion of the project, Kahn will pay the City
the remaining portion of the Impact Fees, Twenty Six Thousand Eight Hundred
Ninety Four and No/100 Dollars ($26,894) by cashier's or certified check;
provided, Kahn shall make such payment not later than two (2) business days
after the earlier of the Anticipated City Completion Date and the Actual City
Completion Date.
10. Subject to Kahn's payment of the final installment of the Impact Fees, Kahn, at
Kahn's sole cost and expense, will build the Kahn Property Sewer Line and the
Connecting Lines and cap the septic tank in accordance with the approved plans.
11. Kahn, at Kahn's sole cost and expense, will connect the Connecting Lines to the
mobile homes and the Kahn Property Sewer Line.
12. Kahn will begin construction of the Kahn Property Sewer Line and the
Connecting Lines within ten (10) business days after the latest of (a) the date the
City approves the plans for the Kahn Property Sewer Line and the Connecting
Lines, (b) the date TCEQ approves such plans or declines to reviewgithem, (c) the
Anticipated City Completion Date, and (d) the Actual City Completion Date.
Kahn will complete such construction, including disconnecting and capping the
septic system and connecting all mobile home units to the Connecting Lines,
within twenty (20) business days after commencement of such construction.
Kahn agrees that the City may issue a stop work order until, Kahn pays the final
installment of the Impact Fees.
C. Acknowledgement /Dismissal of Citation. The terms and obligations set forth in
this Letter Agreement shall be accepted by Kahn by delivery of an executed and acknowledged
original of this Letter Agreement no later than 5:00 pm on October 25, 2010. If this Letter
Agreement is accepted by Kahn in accordance with the previous sentence, the City will dismiss
